By now I am probably the last elected official and candidate to publically state that now is not the time to pass or even propose pay raises for members of the General Assembly. And the matter has formally been put to rest. Nonetheless, I would like to go on the record opposing them. (That's real leadership, jumping on an issue that's already resolved!)
The challenge of the 2010 General Assembly session is going to be figuring out how to shrink the budget by approximately $1 billion without losing vital governmental functions and without putting more people out of work. Any legislation that hopes to get passed this year had better not cost anything.
As a family lawyer, I see first-hand the effects that this Recession has had on the hard-working folk of the fighting 31st. It's ugly.
Things will get better. It's a question of making the right choices.
Protect the Future. Vote Chiappelli.
